How asbestos garage roof removal works in Crofton Park
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Crofton Park. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and broken sheets after high winds, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In Crofton Park, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Crofton Park
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Carport roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Older houses in Crofton Park, near Church of St Hilda or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Crofton Park questions
Do older homes in Crofton Park have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Crofton Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste paperwork for every removal
